deskgameKickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. EST Thursday at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland.
deskgameThe Steelers’ offense doesn’t match Cincinnati’s firepower, but Pittsburgh has shown noticeable improvement with QB Russell Wilson at the helm. The Ravens have given up a league-high 22 passing touchdowns, and I’m predicting WR George Pickens to take advantage.
deskgameJacobs has been a prime player in Green Bay’s run to 11 wins, but more of his impact is reflected in his 13 TD runs rather than his rushing yardage numbers. In the last four games, he rushed for six TDs, but only hit the 70-yard mark one time. Minnesota ranks third in rushing yards allowed to running backs.
deskgameQB Jalen Milroe is expected to suit up for an Alabama offense that averages 35 points per game. Milroe makes big plays with his feet, and he’s tough to contain. The Michigan defense bends but ranks 23rd in red-zone success rate.
deskgameThe Crimson Tide must take advantage when facing lower-level programs like South Carolina, Vanderbilt and LSU. Staying in the mix at the top of the SEC standings will be much harder if Alabama’s record is weighed down by unexpected losses.
